I won't tell you my exact age but I am around my young teens.

NOTD: Unintentional Baroque Nails

Hi guys!
I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging that much these days but that is because I have been really busy with school, birthdays and friends. (Which I am sure you all understand) and I am sorry that I have been blogging about stuff that isn't that interesting but I can guarantee that in these next days and after Christmas the quality of blogging will be much better. (especially since I will be doing a confession post where you will get to know more about me! ;)

sorry for the rubbish picture and cuticles, just concentrate the colour (if you can see it properly)
Moving on to the actual blogging, I was doing my nails with my friends and I decided to go for a dark green colour which I thought was kinda festive, right? But then I looked at my Andrea Fulerton Gold nail polish from the 'dancing queen' trio layering nail polishes they do, and I knew that was going on my nails from the second I glanced at it. It is so festive and beautiful and I thought it would add a touch of a glamourous Christmas feeling to my nails. But then I realised my nails looked a bit baroque styled, and I really liked it!

that's kinda the pattern, yet again crap quality
So there you have it, my unintentional baroque styled nails.
Are you rocking festive nails?

Beauty Water? Review: Caudalie Eau De Beaute Beauty Elixir

Hi guys!
I am sorry I have been a bit late on my blog posts but that was because I was In paris for my birthday and I didn't really have that much time to write but I will be doing a Birthday/Paris haul soon and as I couldn't wait, I am going to talk about the first thing I got in Paris which was the Caudalie Eau de Baute beauty elixir.
sorry for crap picture, as said in earlier posts the lighting is terrible and so I added a Christmas bow to cheer you guys up! :)

Now, you may be asking, what is a beauty elixir. I don't really know. I think you can use them for different reasons according to what you find most comfortable. I like to use this as a make-up setter, more on that later. Some people use them as toner, some just to refreshen the face.

So the description says that a beautifying water that evens out the skin and brightens. It does all of that. The only problem is that when I put it on without makeup it brightened my skin but also brought out my imperfections and I thought my blemishes were a bit redder, which I don't want. I thought that this was, though, great at keeping the make-up put. I have seen a great difference in the days I have worn this and when I come back from school, my make-up is so flawless, I don't need to touch up. This makes my makeup last forever and it also gives that dewy finish to the skin that I love as the foundation absorbs the moisture.

I also wanted to note that it smells amazing as it is full of essential oils like grape, orange blossom, rose, balm mint and rosemary (? I really can't smell the rosemary though). When I put this on I feel refreshed and clean and brightened.

Overall, go get it!
Do you use this kind of stuff?
If you do let me know in the description box or on Twitter @Aphrodi23905920

Christmas Candles: Cinnamon and Cloves

Hello guys!


So lately I have been getting into the Christmas and have already put up all of my decorations- including trees! So when I got given this candle for my birthday on tuesday I couldn't help being super duper excited. 



This candle smells very strongly of cinnamon and cloves (slightly too strong for my nose) and I love keeping this candle on and not actually light it as it fills the room with the scent even when not lighted. 



The candle has three wicks which don't really make that horrible black gas (not that I have noticed anyway since I have only used this once) and overall it fills my rooms of Christmas scents and it is by SLATKIN and Co (it came from a friend in america in Bath and Body Works which I have never been to and would love to go sometime!)

What candles are you sniffing these days?
Have you put your decorations up yet?

NOTD: It's Snowing!

Hi guys!
Now, it isn't actually snowing in London (which is a bit sad...) so instead I painted it on my nails, my way. (Which is way easier).

As it is only the 1st, I didn't want to go for full on Christmas nails. YET. I want to start simple and end up with a different Christmas design on each nail. I used one of the new Barry M Gelly Nail Effects. There isn't really any effect except for the fact it is very glossy by itself. I then sprinkled my nails with some very fine silver glitters that look like a rainbow on my nails. My inspiration was snow in the sky, so this is my easy way if doing it. This is the first time I have tried this polish from Barry M so I am still not quite sure how long it lasts but after two days it chips so it isn't the best quality nail polish ever. This look is also great for all you ladies (or men, who knows?) that like to wear brights instead of darks. This bright blue with a lavender undertone is perfect for you! Oh yeah! 

What nails are you rocking?
Are they Christmass-y?
